(IR) Ceramic Window Tinting Sulphur

In practice the two terms describe the same kind of product. IR is simply short for infrared, and it is used in marketing to highlight the infrared-rejecting part of a nano-ceramic film's performance. Kepler IR and IR+ are nano-ceramic automotive ranges, so a Sulphur driver comparing "IR tint" with "ceramic tint" is usually comparing the same technology under different names. What matters more is the specific film and shade you choose, since performance figures are quoted per film, not per category.

Solar energy reaches your car as visible light, ultraviolet radiation and infrared energy, and a good ceramic film is designed to work across all three. Kepler IR and IR+ use nano-ceramic technology to reject infrared heat and block UV rays, while the shade you pick controls how much visible light comes through. Visible light transmission and heat performance are separate measurements, so a lighter film is not automatically a weaker one. Ask your installer to compare the exact films and shades for your vehicle.

Ceramic film gives you more than a darker look. Kepler's nano-ceramic IR and IR+ films are made to reduce infrared heat build-up and block UV rays, which helps keep the cabin more comfortable and helps protect your interior from fading and cracking. Cutting glare also makes driving into low Louisiana sun easier on the eyes, and the right shade adds daytime privacy for anything left on the seats. Performance varies by film and shade, so compare the two ranges before choosing.

Cost depends on the film range and shade you choose, the size and shape of the glass, how many windows you are doing and the condition of any existing film that needs removing. Because vehicles differ, pricing is confirmed by the installer rather than fixed in advance. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

Caring for ceramic film is straightforward. Let the film cure fully before cleaning or rolling windows down, then keep to soft cloths and ammonia-free cleaners, and avoid abrasive pads or scrapers that can scratch the surface. Your installer will confirm the aftercare that suits the film you choose. There are more tips on our "how to clean window tint" page.

You can get a rough feel for it with a heat lamp and a thermometer: place the thermometer behind the glass, aim the lamp at the window and compare readings with and without film in the way. It is an informal comparison rather than a laboratory test, since results depend on distance, glass type and how long the lamp runs. For a meaningful comparison, look at the published figures for the exact film and shade, and remember that visible light transmission is measured separately from heat rejection.

Window tint rules are set at state level, and they cover how dark and how reflective film may be on each window, with different allowances on different parts of the vehicle. Check the current requirements before you settle on a shade, since film choice and legal compliance are separate decisions. You will find the details on our Louisiana window tint laws page. Your installer can also advise which shades suit your vehicle.

Nano-ceramic films such as Kepler IR and IR+ are built around ceramic particles rather than metal layers, so they avoid the signal interference associated with metallized films and hold their color rather than turning purple as dyed films can. They are made to reject infrared heat and block UV while keeping the view out clear. Dyed, metallized and ceramic films all sit at different points on price and performance, so compare the exact film and shade rather than the category name.

Ceramic sits at the premium end of the tinting market because of what goes into it. Nano-ceramic technology is designed to reject infrared heat and block UV rays while keeping optical clarity high, and it does that without the metal layers that can interfere with electronics. The result is a discreet, factory-style finish that suits owners who care as much about how the car looks as how it feels on a hot afternoon.

Kepler supplies window film; the fitting is carried out by independent installers who deal with customers directly. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. Where Kepler availability is not confirmed with a particular shop, it is worth asking whether they can source and install Kepler film for your vehicle.
